Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How've you been
I always read everything.
Sorry you lost out on the copl sump.
Remember, you can use anything for a sump.
Tank, tub,bucket-whatever.
I once used a dishtub.
Go get something and put that skimmer in it!
 
Hello Southerners,

Someone here at work claimed y'all was actually singular, while all y'all was the plural form. Comments?

LOL at this point I might just do that. I'm on my way to my LFS having no idea what to get.. tang police really got me I guess lol.
 
My wife and kids keep asking when I'm going to apply. I've shot recurve before so I could start again...

I'm just not positive if they want the life insurance or the $500k or whatever the prize is.
I vote no. I honestly think you could win the thing. I really do... But do you know how out of line this thread would be if you were gone for 2 or 3 months?
 
Just treat your metabolism like a dumpster fire. Doesn't matter what it is, whatever is close at hand, chuck stuff in like those old train steam engine coal shovelers! Keep that thing blazing! Also protien. Lots and lots of protein...and cheese. Thats how i have been 'managing' it anyways.
This is actually spot on!
 
Ayyyy congrats. So fun fact about me. Yes, I would consider myself an old-school gamer for sure. Apart from reefing, one of my hobbies is retro game collecting. I love seeing where video games have come from, all the weird promotion stuff, the obscure consoles that no one knows about, and sharing the history with people. I have a collection that ranges from an Atari 2600 in the box, all the way to ps4 era (Don't own any modern consoles). I have somewhere around 1.2k games? Lost track of that, haha. I'll have to share some of the cool collectibles I have. Like I have a Mario Kart 64 land line phone, or the LJN Video Art a very obscure game console that came out in 1987.

Here below is an estimated price of my collection with the amount of games I have (note I don't have all of my big box pc games and loose pc games logged here, so it's missing a good 40+ games)

I love it! I can completely understand what you mean about the original promos and boxes as well. These are similar standards to how I am with my vinyl collection. Very cool, and if you ever have time to share any pics, I'd love to see them!
